| /usr/etc/dump in IRIX 4.0.5 does not correctly parse the "raw" field of the

| /dev/dsk/dks1d5s6 /data1 efs rw,raw=/dev/rdsk/dks1d5s6,quota 0 0
|
| causes "dump" to try to open the file "/dev/rdsk/dks1d5s6,quota".

It isn't dump per se. It is the generic library code that
parses /etc/fstab, and a number of apps suffer from it (there
is an open bug on it). Reorder the options field, and things
will start working again. It is a pain, but at least there is
a workaround.
